Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 16, 1906.

Application filed July 13,1906. Serial No. 326,130.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WERNER ED WYNNE, a citizen ofthe United States, residin at Durant, in the county of Holmes and State of Mississi pi, have invented certain new and useful mprovements in Churn-Dashers; and

I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and 'exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in single reciprocating dashers for churns, and comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of arts, which will be hereinafter fully descried, and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application, and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 2 is a detail view of one end of the dashershaft, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the body of a churn, and B the top, having an aperture C therein, in which is mounted a cylindrical shell C E designates a hollow tubular shell having oppositely-disposed elongated slots E therein, and through which slots a shaft F, which is journaled in suitable bearings in the to of the churn, is adapted to pass. Said she l E is adapted to have a vertical play through the shell C A pin G passes centrally through the shell E, and a spring H is fastened at one end to said pin, and its other end is fastened to said shaft F, the oflice of said spring being normally to hold the shell E at its highest throw. K designates the shaft of the dasher, and the upper end thereof has flattened portions K parallel to each other and adapted to engage corresponding flattened walls within the lower end of said shell, in which it telescopes. A metallic band N is fitted over the end of said shaft, which telescopes within the shell and is fastened to said iiattened surfaces. A pin O is adapted to pass through registering apertures in the lower portion of the shell and said flattened portions of the shaft, whereby the 'latter may be held to the shell, and forming means for readily detaching the same when it is desired to cleanse the dasher or for any other purpose.

L designates an angle-stepped bar fastened at its lower end to the shell, and its vertical portion is adapted to have a play in a sultable guide-slot formed in the top of the churn, and a bolt Q, fixed to the top B, is adapted to engagev one or another of the steps of said bar. By this provision it will be noted that the throw of the dasher may be limited to adapt the same for a short or a long stroke.

To the upper end of the shell is fastened a handle E2, consisting of a straight cylindrical piece telescoping within said shell, forming means whereby an operator may take hold to operate the dasher.

From the foregoingit will be noted that by the revision of the a paratus shown and descri ed a simple an efficient means is afforded for easily operating a churn-dasher, it merely being necessar to apply weight to the dasher to cause the same to be depressed, the spring normally returning the dasher to its starting osition, and by the provision of the means s own the throw of the shaft may be easily regulated.

1. In combination with a churn and to having an aperture therein, a hollow shel passing through said aperture and provided with oppositely-disposed elongated slots, a shaft passing through said top and slots, a spring fastened at oneA end to said shell below said slots and its other end fastened to said shaft, and a dasher having a shaft, the end of which is detachably held within the lower end of said shell, as set forth.

2. In combination with a churn and to having an aperture therein, a hollow shel passing through said aperture and provided with oppositely-disposed elongated slots, a shaft passing through said top and slots, a spring fastened at one end to said shell below said slots and its other end fastened to said shaft, a dasher having a shaft, the end of which is detachably held within the lower end of said shell, and means for regulating the throw of the dasher, as set forth.

3. In combination with a churn and top IOO having an aperture therein,` a hollow shell faces within said shell, and a pin passing passing through said aperture and provided through registering apertures in the lower g with oppositely-disposed elongated slots, a portion of said shel and the upper end of the shaft passing through said top and slots, a dasher-shaft7 as set forth.
